Anyone else dumb enough to run wild-card standings?

I realize that it's basically the only way our hometown team can make the playoffs, but when they are 7 back (with the Reds currently playing), and six teams are in front of them, doesn't it seem kind of useless?

I think they're good to run, even in late July. Lots of folks around here are fans of one of those teams and I constantly hear talk of the wild card from them. So what there's two months left. It's nice to know how you're doing at the moment.

Of course you should run wild card standings. Especially as we're getting to August. If a team is 7 games back, that's not impossible to make the jump with 60 games left. Devoted baseball fans - and there are plenty - are looking at the wild card standings throughout the year to see how much ground their team has to make up.
Are you running the wild card standings at the top of the page by themselves, or are they with the regular standings?

On MLS and WNBA - I think those standings need to run. While neither league has a huge following, there are fans out there. At our paper, if we don't run MLS and WNBA standings, we're going to end up running transactions for minor league baseball teams and those deals letting everyone know who was just hired as the crew coach at Dartmouth. Like it or not, MLS and WNBA are pro sports, and the standings only take up a couple inches.
